I don’t know

Written By Dina Galarza Mapes, Authorial Services

You’re not alone…

Have you ever thought to yourself, “I just don’t know!” Well, you are NOT alone.

I have been thinking that a lot, actually.

Sitting with uncertainty…

I don’t know what I want to do with my life, my career, my… anything.

It’s a difficult feeling, and that is something I do know.

Endless questioning loops…

Does she/he still love me? Is there something I could do differently? Am I just stagnant? Do I keep going in the direction I am going?

There are so many questions I could ask myself.

BUT…

Something that keeps me going is… and you’re going to think I’m silly… Dr.Pepper.

I know what you’re thinking… That lady is crazy! But am I, though?

Finding your anchor…

What if we all had one small thing that kept us going… It can be silly like mine, or it could be serious, like your children

All you need is SOMETHING to keep you going when your entire being says, “I don’t know…”

I don’t know…

I don’t know about you, but having something to keep me going? It’s working.

No matter how silly it may be…

Let’s wrap this up…

Alongside a cold, crisp Dr. Pepper, I like to escape into worlds… Writing these stories honestly anchors me into my own life when everything feels heavy and uncertain. I don’t want to do it alone anymore…

Have you ever wanted to be a part of the editorial journey of an author and make the book even better?

I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember, but a creative slump in my

early twenties slowed me down. My passion and love for writing reignited at

29, and I haven’t looked back since. Now, I’m deeply immersed in a novella

series and other projects. I am actively supporting aspiring indie authors with

beta-reading, editing, and design services. I am committed to my mission to

make professional editing accessible and affordable. For more information,

please visit my website. As a passionate advocate for school

children, I love every minute of empowering young minds. I am a mother of two

energetic boys and have been married for eleven years to a hard-working

husband. Faith and family are my guiding lights. I’m a small-town Tennessee

resident who believes in the power of YET, and I hope that readers find

something positive within each story. My work is available on most e-book

platforms and via private purchase for physical copies; for updates and sneak
